This photograph showcases Diesel Railcar No. 4, a historic gem nestled at the STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in Swindon. Built by the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) in 1934, this railcar holds a significant place in railway history. No. 4 is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the early 20th century railway era. With its sleek, streamlined design and powerful diesel engine, it represented a departure from the traditional steam-powered trains that dominated the rails at the time. The railcar's distinctive features, including its large windows and spacious interior, offered passengers a more comfortable and panoramic view of the countryside as they traveled.
